the dude doesn’t even care, but is the first person to answer on somebody that said he got banned for no reason to have a laugh. On topic In the past you might have a bug once a month, now it's almost daily, how on earth can you keep running a game that has issues every day? Of course players will stop playing then.

Holy ****, they are so disconnected with the player base its unreal.

Every decision is a trade off, we get something and then 2 things get taken away.

What on earth do we need a Dev diary for when its clear every decision is based on making QoL worse? Is this what it has come down to, nickel and dime every resource possible? Every single thing Kabam advertises as positive ends up having 2 negative aspects hidden in the back. This is pure gaslighting.

How is it that everytime Kabam says that they listened it gets worse?

Examples:

DSE: Hey we listened we understand the boost issue and you will get a selector. Conveniently leave green boosts out.

EQ: Its time to reveal a new difficulty, it was long overdue. 4 months of testing to get this trash mode ignoring all the positive feedback from the Valiant Gauntlet. New exciting rewards, except everyone's prestige was lowered at least 5k points so we are basically getting close to the same thing.

New Dailies: you will be able to get a lot of rank up mats even for your low star champions. Spend the energy that has become completely scarce now.

Start thinking as players ffs.

Most of their decisions have been so tone deaf, it's almost laughable at this point. Says "we've listened to your feedback", but then immediately just doubles down be REMOVING a fairly consistent source of Energy, while giving us a "more consistent" source of less energy (2 a week, really?).

Not to mention making BGs energy only is insane, because now to grind BGs you'll have to choose between BGs or content (if you're behind, anyway), whereas before you could use your energy, then do BGs when your energy ran out.

I genuinely cannot even begin to fathom what feedback they're listening to if their takeaway was "Gotcha, we'll give you less energy overall, and make you spend MORE energy long term". The mental gymnastics here are something to behold, I'll grant them that.

A lack of energy is going to result in a serious lack of engagement, that's for sure.

I'm gonna go auto play the daily because I want the units (that they still need to give the rest of back), and then I probably won't touch the game again today. It'll be the same story tomorrow, and then maybe Monday they'll get an extra 10 minutes out of me for AQ for the sake of my alliance. 9.3 is already explored, so I've got no content really to do, and I used almost all of my refills doing it.

Is 5-15 minutes of daily engagement worth all this?

Hope this ‘evolution’ doesn’t have the same ending as the dinosaurs.

They already said comp for that overtuned EQ will have some refills, and apparently ‘refills discussion’ is on the menu for the dev diary… so yeah, looks like we’re finally gonna have a "discussion" about the energy they yoinked from us.

But ‘stop ruining the game’? Nah, that part didn’t make it into the dev diary—guess it’s ‘necessary for the game economy’

I've said it before, but everything changed once Jax and Miike left. People joked at the time that they saw the writing on the wall and were jumping ship, and everyone said "no, that's not it". But maybe these changes have been discussed for awhile, and Jax and Miike were on to something.

While I don't think this is entirely without merit, I do think it is a bit unfair to pin the blame on just one person. It's a room full of tone deaf people, not just one tone deaf person

I agree. If there was an honest reason for the changes to how available energy refills would be, they should have just posted that earlier/now/immediately. Why are they going to wait “months” to put out their reasoning for this. I can’t be alone in losing interest in the game because of many of these changes. It seems my alliance is full of people who feel the same way - seems like they’re few who are on like they were before this last update. Maybe that’s not such a bad thing… time to finally move on??

I'm feeling pretty spent.
